Good morning, John, it’s Morgan.
I wanted to take a moment today to share a little bit about what inspired
me to be in this race.
For years, I followed politics and observed politicians with an intrigued
but somewhat disappointed eye, and I think a lot of folks can relate to
this. I was frustrated with the lack of movement on key issues that I
cared about and were affecting me, my family, and my community.
It seemed like no matter who had the majority, political leaders were in
constant deadlock and nothing was getting done. I would watch politicians
on TV, listen to their speeches, see their interviews and I didn’t feel
inspired. I was looking for role models, and folks I could relate to, but
they were shockingly absent.
UNTIL: I saw Ayanna Pressley was running. She was a totally different kind
of person then the typical corporate-backed career politician and she
openly rejected the establishment. She made it work and won. Her
fierceness, and fearlessness were key in making me see myself in this
work.
THEN: I saw folks like Lauren Underwood win without being a part of the
D.C. establishment. Seeing the way that women and women of color were
putting themselves out there and going for it in politics showed me that I
not only could but should do the same.
I got my start fighting back against corrupt corporations and organizing
for a better Ohio. My love for my community continues to guide me and it’s
what still motivates me to keep going (even in blizzards like this one
😉❄️).

So thank you, John. Thanks for
being with me in this fight and on this journey. I know it may seem like
an impossibly uphill battle, but when I look at the leadership, drive, and
passion of the women of color who came before me, I know that this is
possible. If we all come together, we can really flip this state blue and
make the Ohio of our dreams a reality.
Thank you for hearing my story,
Morgan Harper
